Nestled in one of Launceston's premier suburbs, with commanding views of the Tamar River, city, and seaport, 'Werona' is a distinguished heritage estate offering an exceptional living experience. Built in 1908 for the Stanwix family, this triple-brick residence, resting on bluestone foundations, has undergone meticulous restoration, earning national acclaim for its period-sensitive renovations now married to a contemporary adaptation. With a history as both a bespoke family home and a prestigious Bed and Breakfast, 'Werona' is rich in timeless charm and historical significance. The home's grandeur is immediately apparent, from the intricately carved staircase spanning three floors to the carved archways, mantles, leadlight windows, and ornate fireplaces. The craftsmanship throughout is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Designed with spacious family living in mind, the home features a large kitchen outfitted with European appliances while retaining its original coal-burning stove. Formal and informal lounges, a stately dining room, and trophy room provide ample space for entertainment. Accommodating at least five bedrooms depending on its configuration, each with their own ensuite, the property offers abundant space for family and guests alike. The original coach house and stables have been converted into a double lock-up garage with a loft studio above, connected to the main residence via a subterranean stairway. Modern comforts, such as reverse cycle air conditioning, generous storage, and off-street parking, blend seamlessly with the home's historic features. Completely relandscaped, the newly established gardens are brimming with flowers and decorative trees, all of which enhance the estate's tranquility. True to its Indigenous name, 'Werona,' meaning "quiet place," this expansive, manicured property feels like a private retreat. Beyond its serene setting, 'Werona' is ideally located, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, schools, and is just a four-minute drive to Launceston's CBD. Whether envisioned as a luxurious family residence or a distinctive bed-and-breakfast, 'Werona' is an opportunity to own a piece of Launceston's history, with breathtaking views and unmatched heritage charm.
